I remember that day I stopped believing in you.
The waves rose high above me
like your build had once done,
picking me up with your broken dreams
and pushed me down under before running.
The day I squished my toes into the sand,
etched our names side-by-side;
watched as the waves came too soon,
washed our names away along with lost days
Predictably you never showed,
even the ocean waves cannot wash away
the pain of being forgotten.
I let the waves wash away the memories of you,
the memory of that day: another day you didn’t show.

This was some good stuff here. Anyway, I have a few nitpicks to bother you with.
So, I really liked this poem. It flowed pretty nicely and the emotions were evident enough in it. I think you did a good job with it

Girl- that was extraordinary!
I can really feel the heartbroken pain pouring out of the words. When I read that I saw a mental image of the scene, perfect in every way. I hope you write more like this, you really have a way with words that everybody should admire. I wish I lived near you just so that I could listen to more poems like this quicker than at the moment. I just hope that didn't sound too spooky or creepy. Anyway- really liked The Day I Stopped Believing, every girl can sympathise with the character. I've had the same experience too many times.
